As it turns out that's Wheels who's suiting up. And here's Clay Anderson getting some exercise, next to Tani and Wilson.

Edit: They've entered orbital night, and so have I. I'm off to bed, see you all in the morning.

SSRMS is in motion with P6.

Ratty comm for awhile.

SSPTS now in process of being turned off in prep for EVA.

They're showing an overview of the spacewalk now. Looks like a long traversal to get there at the end.

Should be fun to watch.
